At Wednesday’s Phoenix City Council meeting, Black Lives Matter demonstrators briefly interrupted a presentation by the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association, highlighting what they say is unfair treatment by the police.

While Phoenix Police Officer Will Buividas was speaking about budgetary concerns of the police union, a protestor began by saying, “We’re here to ask you for support for black and brown people who are being murdered by the Phoenix Police Department.”
